Alexandra Shedlovsky has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6949692
    Abstract: Methods for breeding mutagenized mice permit detection of genetic loci that in heterozygous mutated form can modify a known index phenotype involves crossing a mutagenized founder strain and a second strain of mice carrying an allele at a locus that confers the index phenotype. In the test generation, clusters of individuals are observed to deviate from the typical phenotype. The genetic material and molecules encoded thereby can be obtained using available methods. Improved and compact methods are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 14, 1998
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2005
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: William F. Dove, Alexandra Shedlovsky
